Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds chicken breasts (boneless, skinless) cut each breast into thick slices to cook, (once cooked cut into chunks)
1 (16 oz) can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 package Lipton's dry onion soup mix (each box has 2 packages inside and you'll use only 1 package)
½ cup apple juice
1 cup onions, chopped
1 cup celery sliced

Steps:

  • Add slices of chicken to the crock-pot. In a medium bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, dry onion soup mix, apple juice, onions, and celery. Pour sauce over chicken and mix to coat.
  • Cover and cook on low heat for about 6 hours until chicken is cooked through or for 3 hours on high heat. When finished, cut each slice of chicken into chunks before serving. If you want the sauce a bit thicker, pour the sauce into a small pot. Stir in a little cornstarch or flour (about 1 tablespoon). Over medium heat, stir with a whisk or fork until the cornstarch or flour is dissolved and the sauce begins to thicken.
  • Serving suggestions: It's delicious just served in a bowl as a stew. Or, each serving can be served over 1 slice of whole wheat bread, over a small baked potato or on ½ cup brown rice.
